Deadlifters aware

[Tuckitin123]

[FONT=&quot]What kind of grip do you use? I use double over instead of over under and I pulled 495 2 months ago; I weigh 180. Granted I do not deadlift raw after 315. Before witnessing my first power meet I have never questioned my grip. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I have been trying to use over under and I tend to sway to one side and ruin my form. Am I missing out on anything using my current grip? I know a guy who deadlifts double under and pulled 600 the other week.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Just wondering...[/FONT]

I don't use mixed grip very often myself. I prefer double overhand, and hook grip when I start getting into heavier weights.

Double over but that's cos I'm a grip guy.

i do both. and it is important to do both so you don't develop imbalances and also for cleans
